Going Dark

"Choose"

Going dark

Note to note

The melody of life in minor key

Settled between promise and disillusion

Never quite swayed to believe

Hope that renders light

Vertiginous on a ledge

Prodded closer to the edge

Repentance finds its way

Amid the cacophony of voices

Saying life is painted by an Impressionist

Not a Realist (Realism had its day)

Eyes focus Heavenward, hands raise to the Divine

Shuttering out the bitter half light of the willful

On a lark

Going dark

Repentance and shunning away sins are both quite different... we hope that all our sins can be forgiven but we fail to flee from it.The contrast between realism and impressionalism is wonderful.I liked the strong message of the poem.Storms the brain of the reader with variety of thoughts.. :) well done

You have my pen light soul searching through the bread of my childhood with this one...fisher of men.. I am a assuming through the expressionism crested wave you went deep to make this heaven to earth make land fall..indeed going dark for what reason to shut out or to go deeper within? I like the contrast in this piece..excellent
